  There are people who do not want us to be free. They don't want us to be free before God, accepted just as we are by his grace. They don't want us to be free to express our faith originally and creatively in the world. They want to control us; they w...

• The Hunger

  Posted on Monday November 23rd, 2009 at 15:18 in thoughts, life, christian, christianity, God, devotional, Spirituality, community, cartoons, worldview

  Some thoughts going through my mind over the past few days ...Christianity can be a real challenge for me, as Jesus calls us to accept our mistakes. Accepting is not the same as excusing, however much the two things may get confused in my head. I am ...

• Melchizedek: The Blessing

  Posted on Tuesday August 11th, 2009 at 11:03 in thoughts, jesus, christianity, devotional, prayer, Compassion, story, scripture, genesis, blessings

  Just a few thoughts on a kinda obscure subject. Not much is really known about Melchizedek although he is a major figure in the history of Israel and the church. Hebrews devotes a lot of chapter 7 to him. He is first met in the Bible when Abraham is ...

  I was going to write on some positive thing about God, being a Christian or whatever but I'm not in the mood...lol God is a God of love, as we all know, but there are other attributes as well. God can also get really ticked off! In Numbers 13-14 God ...

  Just wanted to share with you these three verses, which I imagine most of us have heard bunches of times..."Let me ask you this. What would you do if you had a hundred sheep and one of them wandered off? Wouldn't you leave the ninety-nine on the hill...

• pitching His tent

  Posted on Monday August 3rd, 2009 at 08:57 in life, christian, christianity, God, devotional, Spirituality, Compassion, theology, grace, scripture, restore, love of god

  This morning I've been thinking about holiness and holy living. What kicked this off was this familiar verse is 1 Peter v. 16 "Ye shall be holy; for I am holy." Therefore our goal in life is not happiness, health or any of these things (these are the...

• Camping With Elijah

  Good afternoon! A thought on 1Kings 19:9-14. Elijah, had said so often that he had “been very jealous for the Lord of Hosts.” A fiery intense man for sure, one I can’t wait to meet in heaven. (Can you imagine going camping with Elijah…but I d...

  Good morning! A different kind of question but its going to take me a bit to develop it I guess. There is this common saying that "seeing is believing." But I wonder really how true this is and maybe its more accurate to say "believing is seeing." Is...

  "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on, do not sin again." John 8:11b One thing I get from the story this verse comes from is that Jesus didn't shame the woman for her wrongs, but came to rescue her. To turn from longings that were d...
